Who's taking whose land? Ibos?
They are every tribes perpertual slaves and known losers!
By the way, the lands you ibo bought goes back to the owner after 99yrs!
As you can see, you're the loser!

... Yorubas are using this 99 years lie to console themselves that they will be landowners and get back their land when they are... hmm... 130 years?

Assuming you are 20 years old and sell me your father's land, when you return for theland at age 120, do you return my money as well? adjusted for inflation?

think am well, who is the loser? the man wey buy the land, build on top am, enjoy am in his prime, or the old 120+ years old man coming back to claim his land? you see say the matta funny no be small? lol

Lawprince:
First complete the story and tell us what your friend did.

... I don't think this really happened to the OP's friend...

truefact:
The cowards have no mouths again, where are their obas, their doctors, the writers, their agberos, their e-warrios, their new papers, the blogers, their oversea spoke persons, and all their ranters

... they are waiting for Ekiti to be called No-man'sland before they react; kill them, r-ape them, mo lest their wives, burn their houses, loot their business, anything you wan ... they'll take it on the chin, but calling their cosmopolitan city what it is is apparently the line that would be crossed for them to come out swinging (their tongues)... oh and asking for political appointments or running for office....

I don't get it; someone is rushing to get on board a flight and it is drama?

ogawisdom:
So u also believe TA orji won in his senatorial district, well if u believe this u can believe any thing

Who did T.A Orji lose to? if you can tell me without looking it up or asking someone, then i'll know there was some form of competition, otherwise - no case. if you believe he didn't win, then you would not believe in anything.

ogawisdom:
U can't blame d lead much they voted massively for otti n rejected T A orji n his apostles but d votes were nt allowed to count which is quite unfortunate. D case is in d tribunal nw let's see hw it goes.

Buhari won d election bc weakling Jonathan allowed votes to count. If na OBJ Buhari would ve been silenced

There is very little u can do to d man who controls police, military, other forces, INEC n ve all d money in d world

How many people that lost election agree they lost?

Don't cry me a river, the rescheduled elections that took place was counted before allof us, cameras and everything... all the lies you guys have been telling did not match the pattern of votes cast by Abians... we chose Ikpeazu, Oti lost. End of story. Good bye.

Ilekeh:
Where is Abias high allocation going towards? Just asking.

They're paying more than minimum wagge, 20,000+ I believe... just answering - I don't think that's a good idea if he's going to start owing them for 9 months...

asha80:
even abians admit that the Imo administration is better than the abia own no argument on that one..give the the numbers that prove that Enugu workforce Is less than abia workforce rather than base it on one state sacking or receiving workers whether indigene or non...almost everyone that has ties to abia or being there or lives there knows it is probably the worst governed state in the country so no use of your perception...dont bother asking my night unless you are gay

Of course everyone connected to Abia that you've heard from will say "Abia stinks" because when you hate someone and have been fed with lies and rumours about them, you take in those lies and rumours as the reality; ... and THEN when ufortunate events like the OP occurs, you show up the way you have on this thread and say it buttresses your initial deluded beliefs about Abai.

I know that every Imolite, all 100%, as well as indigenes of other states are all satisfied with their respective governors whom meet their expectation.
I noticed though how you selected some of your words carefully... using "almost", "probably" and so on... go the whole nine yards, buddy... (guess I shouldn't call you "buddy" unless I'm gay, right?)

I'll be back with some projects later, but till then, read the following:

Sometime in 2010, the Abia State government after thorough examination of her civil service discovered that it was fraught with fraudulent employment procedures, and ghost workers menace. It was also discovered that some non-indigenous civil servants in the state that were supposed to have been transferred back to their states of origin upon the creation of the state in 1991 on the transfer of service basis had not been transferred. There were also leakages in the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state coupled with over –bloated workers’ wage bill that made it difficult for the state government to meet up with her financial obligations then.

As if that was not enough problems for the state, the Imo State Government then sent the files of retired civil servants of Abia origin back to Abia State government to pay their pensions, a development many viewed as unfortunate and vindictive, considering the fact that these were men and women that had given 35 years of their lives in the service of Imo State, only to be denied when it mattered most. All these culminated to the daunting rots in the state civil service then that required urgent attention of the state government, if the sector must play its expected roles in the day-to-day administration of the state.

It was on the basis of these obvious challenges that the Abia State government after due consultations with the relevant stakeholders in the state, embarked on the aggressive, and total reformation of the state civil service to address all these fundamental challenges that had bedeviled it for decades. Some of the reforms introduced by the government were transferring of non-indigenous civil servants to their states of origin on transfer of service basis, prompt promotion and retirement of workers, payment of 21,000 as the new minimum wage, introduction of biometric data capturing of all the civil servants in the state, tackling of the ghost workers menace, construction of New ultra modern Workers’ secretariat, renovation of the old Workers’ secretariat, prompt payments of workers salaries and other entitlement as at when due.

While majority of the people, especially the workers in the state commended the state government’s intervention in the sector, some cynics and skeptics outside the state who do not understand the magnitude of the problems in the service picked holes on the state government’s decision to transfer some non-indigenous workers to their states of origin on transfer of service basis. This was despite the fact that the state governor, Chief Theodore Orji wrote to his colleague governors in advance alerting them of his government’s plan to transfer the workers back to their states of origin, due to some financial constraints his government was facing then. Till today, none of the state governors that were written to by Governor Orji over the matter has debunked it; meaning that they were duly informed and carried along by the Abia State government before and after the workers were transferred.

But quite unfortunate and disappointing, most of the governors of the affected states have up till today refused to absorb the transferred workers, despite the fact that their civil service system is under-staffed.

Having plugged all the financial leakages that fret government revenues into private pockets before now, coupled with the state government’s prudent managing of resources, the Abia State government recently announced plans to recruit more workers into the state civil service and has decided to use the opportunity to re-absorb the non-indigenous workers that were transferred to their states of origin some years ago, but are yet to be re-absorb by their state governments. It was as a result of this that the state governor, Theodore Orji called on the affected non-indigenous civil servants to re-apply for possible re-absorption into the civil service.

The news of the planned recruitment of workers, and re-absorption of the disengaged non-indigenous workers in the state which was broken during a post-executive council briefing at Government House, Umuahia recently by the Information and Culture Commissioner, Eze Chikamnayo said the decision was taken by the council with the governor presiding.

He explained that the council deliberated decisively on the need to inject fresh blood into the civil service by way of employing the teeming population of youths in order to reduce the worsening unemployment market.

The Information and Strategy Commissioner explained that by the development, those who were disengaged in 2010, and who still want to return to their duty posts can now re-apply for consideration.

According to him their reapplying for consideration would not make them inferior as they stand the chances of returning to their former positions they occupied, adding that already the Head of Service and the Commissioner for Education had been ordered to come up with the modalities.

He continued that the modalities would also take into serious consideration those that left their places of work due to the rampaging Boko Haram insurgency in the North, saying that government had concluded plans to also absorb them into the service.

Obviously, the development is a good omen, and a step in the right direction, because it is not too late for the affected workers especially as their states governments have refused to re-absorb them since then. By this timely decision, it could be assumed that Governor Orji has displayed high level of courage, and understanding in governance. Not many political leaders of today can summon such courage to bend backward in the interest of humanity. Courage, they say is what it takes to stand up and speak; and also what it takes to sit down and listen. Gov. Orji as a leader has shown that leadership is not a one-way traffic that is static and irreversible. He has stood up to speak when it was necessary and had also sat down to listen when it was needful. His recent decision on the issue is exemplary, and a strong demonstration of courage for other leaders to emulateIt is only visionary leaders that can see beyond their noses and act quickly to save situations. It could be recalled that Orji’s government inherited huge debt approximately N30 billion from his predecessor, over bloated workforce with nearly empty treasury and backlog of salaries owed workers.

Sorry, I couldn't stay on the thread longer, but I will be back shortly.

BuddahMonk:
Lol look at this man oooo

Abia state that sacked non indigene and banned ITC from loading in Abia.
Who are you deceiving enyi oko, you invested in health but you failed to pay health workers, shey na goats and sheep will be running those places.

Bring up another lie

... so you know that those non-indigenes were "sacked" but you didn't hear that they were called back?

I don't know what the deal is with ITC, can you tell me more? what was the reason given for the ban? perhaps license issue? I encourage people not to take rumors, when you hear something, follow it up and through to a reasonable point as an educated, or at least, intelligent (Igbo) being. I na aghota?

asha80:
rubbish yarns bringing up the stupid indigine and non indigene talk to hide the cluelessness on one man..yeah ala ala oma hospital represents the condition of the whom hospitals in abia..mention the gaddem projects abia gov has done more than Enugu that you say here ..defending what is arguably the worst administration in nigeria

I think we have already agreed to disagree on whom the worst administration in Nigeria belongs to: you say its Abia and I say it is Imo; you can not convince me and I can not make you change your mind, so that is that one.

I was making a point on the size of the labor force between Abia and Enugu, if you calmed down and read my post carefully, you would have gotten the point that just eluded you. If Enugu sacks everyone that is a non-indigene, and Abia absorbes more civil servants, which state will have a higher labor force? I wu nwa ntakiri that I have to break things down like this for you?

.. and do you really want me to list the medical projects of T.A. Orji for you? it would not make you change your mind one bit, so why should I bother; I will be willing to indulge someone else, not you that jumps to a conclusion with minute evidence and pretty much a closed mind. How was your night btw?

BuddahMonk:
Enugwu is owing only parastatals,

Does Enugwu receive more allocation than Abia.

Does Enugwu have bigger economy than Abia.

Is Enugwu well situated than Abia.

Are both not PDP states.

Are both not in SE.

Does Abia have bigger workforce than Enugwu.

Did Abia build more projects than Enugwu.

Are both States not Jonathan's strongholds.



Why should Abia state perform poorly despite having all the economic advantage over Enugwu and your here talking about Jonathan.

Yes, Abia state has a higher workforce than Enugu, and three-quarters of them are from other states; not to mention that Enugu state in the mid '90s sacked non-indigenes from Enugu state and Abia state absorbed them into its fold.

Finally, yes, Abia state has embarked on more projects than Enugu, especially in the medical department.

I have given you information that is available out there for you and me to access; you can either confirm all this by verifying all I've said, or just continue swearing for T.A. Orji while God keeps blessing him, from Governor to Senator.

(P.S. I am not saying it is right to owe workers for one day. But given the challenges state governments face, not to mention its > minimum wage it pays, picking out Abia to vilify is just getting old and boring).

Na question I dey ask you..shebi ta Orji is the best thing after sliced bread in abia according to you no be so?

Nah so...

the almajiri school might have being established with good intensions but i tell u it has minimal or no impact atall at the educational advancement of the north.those states in north were this almajiri schools were established werent even having the problem of primary school shortage, were enrolment had outpaced the number of schools available.when u talk abt jonathan favouring the north over other regions i dnt expect u to mention almajiri schools.how on earth has the creation of almajiri schools given the north an edge of other regions.

I am not sure whether you are aware of a model developed byexperts in the field of conflict resolution/problem solving... one of the steps includes problem identification... my original post implied that the sum total of projects in the north surpasses the south; but I also left a window open for a possibility that it might not be completely true.

The function of the almajiri schools might help you understand why GEJ invested in building them... why not look it up and read up on it. have you lived in the north before? if you knew the number of kids in the streets roaming from place to place is appalling. Those schools showed them that the government has their interests at heart and cares for them. Again, look into the program objectives and how these schools have been functioning...

On a point you made of no lack of schools... if they are not interested in western education, isn't that my point? that traditiioinal education that recognizes their culture and then teaches them further helps with the mental emancipation of the child(ren)

Wow, this man really laid it out... perhaps to register himself in the good books of some beautiful lady and.

jcmaiah:
if he is talking of abia governorship election then he is right. Anything outside that he need brain surgery!

Hi is not right just because you said he is... he if wrong, as well as you yourself, because the INEC conducted re-run with the eyes of the world focused in areas in Aba and environs. shows what the true result of that election was - Abians have decided to pitch their tent with Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu; an intelligent that got his academic experience up to the doctorial level at the age of 30! A performer that received awards for his role as DG of ASEPA! I will continue educating you guys that want to keep on lieing, because I know you are just mis-informed.

Here is a video for you to watch. Thank me later, don't forget.

Your father naming you rotimi to become a chife judge then are you a judge? Where are you from ?your father must be a stabotuor during the civil war of biafra now you come up to become a traitor against your brother Jonathan? Are not ashemd of your life joining yorubas cowards.

On what basis is his assertion assumed wrong or false?

I mean, if someone says the reason he wasa named a particular name, what gain is ther for lie-ing about it? and why, really should a name that can be legally changed at any time, even surnames, be an issue (whether in politics - in Naija and beyond - and otherwise)?

sentiments aside if u have any points make them stop saying even if u make any point i wouldnt agree with u.i would only disagree with u if u make baseless assertions.so educate me pls on what gej did for the north.

Okay, let's take it one at a time:

Almajiri schools?

The Federal Government has applied for closed-door trial in the treason charge against Benjamin Onwuka, a lawyer and 11 others, members of the Biafra Zionist Federation, a group campaigning for the secession of eastern Nigeria from Nigeria. The excised territory will be declared as Biafra, like the one declared 48 years ago.
At a resumed hearing on Tuesday at the Federal High Court, Enugu, the prosecuting counsel, Mr David Kaswe, prayed the court to exclude members of the public from further hearing on the matter.
Kaswe said that the application when granted would enable his remaining witnesses to testify in the matter.
He said two of his witnesses that had yet to testify in the matter were not disposed to doing that in the public as they had received threats to their life.
The prosecuting counsel said that the application was in the best interest of justice.
The Defence Counsel, Mr Olu Omotayo, opposed the motion on the grounds that the matter commence in the full glare of the public.
He said that the court would err if it granted such application as according to him, there had not been any breach of order since the commencement of the trial.
At the resumed hearing, the court admitted as exhibits 46 empty bottles of beer, 25 litres of petrol, 15 cutlasses and six CD tapes.
A Prosecution Witness, Cpl. Michael Udemba, said that the exhibits were recovered from the suspects on the day of their arrest.
Udemba said that the empty bottles and fuel were to be used as explosives to set the premises of Enugu State Broadcasting Service ablaze.
The Judge, Justice D.V. Agishi, adjourned the matter till June 10 for ruling on the closed-door trial application and continuation of hearing.
The suspects have been in custody since June 2014. They were arrested for alleged invasion of ESBS in an attempt to make a broadcast for the secession of Biafra.
In 1967, the military governor of Eastern Nigeria, Emeka Ojukwu had driven the region to self rule, as Biafra. But the rebellion was crushed three years after by Nigeria’s Federal forces.


http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/05/19/fg-seeks-secret-trial-of-biafra-activists/

they should be tried and dealt the strong arm of justice. The moment you resort to any form of violence, you lose my support, I do not subscribe to that at all, I deem it to be the last resort after genuine efforts have been made... even Ojukwu that went ahead to declare Biafra an independent nation (under God? lol) still is being chastised by many for not seeking further peaceful options; but I feel he did enough, esp the Aburi meeting which Gown reniged upon..

I must also add these guys are not the type of people we need a thousand miles near the corridors of power in Biafra... you seize the broadcasting station, make a broadcast.. and then what? That means Biafra is now in existence and independent? Lack of following your thoughts to a conclusive end and even options per each possible outcome is what a smart person should do... I am glad they failed and are being prosecuted.

I have no doubt that at the appropriate time, as far as the sun rises from the east... Biafra will rise. Maka Chukwu.

arent88:
pls can you tell us what he did for the north.

wow! that you even have to ask tells me that even if I told you, you still won't know - so lets agree to disagree on the matter.

atlwireles:
Jonathan suffered from the Niger delta sickness, always wanting to be more Nigerian than Nigeria . Remind me again, what other Nigerians called him? the "most tribalistic" President Nigeria ever had, because he spent all Nigeria money developing the creeks of the Nigeria delta and appointed only Niger deltans to his cabinet plus offered them government jobs.. Now you people are saying he did nothing for his region, please tell us what is it?

I would have loved to see "major" projects like the seaport and perhaps using his powers to get industries and investments both local and foreign into the area....

there are indeed beneftis enjoyed by the area by virtue of his position (schools, barracks, etc); all i was saying is that he seemed like he didn't want to make any obvious moves that will raise people's eyebrows that he was biased... which is to your point exactly that he was called the most tribalistic president, when we can argue the North got more than the SS region, depending on how you look at things.
so that is the reason I say he should have gone all out to further lift the former eastern region into higher levels of economic development; and then damn the consequences if they wanna call him names.

There is an Igbo saying that if I am called a frog-eater when I have never eaten a frog... when I am about to eat one, I will make sure that I eat a big, fat juicy one.

EUROBOMBER:
There is nothing wrong in holding meetings and also nothing wrong in a struggle geared towards the betterment of the people of the Niger Delta. My advise is that we should give Buhari a chance and see what he has to offer, who knows, he might turn out to be a blessing for the region. Jonathan was there for over 5yrs and nothing to show for it even in the Niger Delta! I am still at a shock today that Jonathan could not ensure that Ibaka seaport at Akwa Ibom was given priority and completed before the end of his tenure. One vital thing we need for a massive turnaround in the East would be a functioning seaport capable of berthing large ocean liners so that our people can massively divert their import activities to the East but the stark reality is that Jonathan failed. He also promised to build a second Niger bridge before 2015 and here we are in 2015 and the bridge has not been built.

What if Buhari builds that seaport? What if Buhari eventually builds that second Niger bridge?

I am really angry with Jonathan.

I really don't know... I have been trying to come up with possible answers why GEJ did not ensure vital infrastructural development that'll be a catalyst for rapid growth for the lower niger... and the only or main thing I can come up with is the same thing that Ironsi did which also led to his undoing - want to appease the North in order to avoid being accused of favoritism... its too late to learn a lesson after exams are over, he should have seen that no matter what he did, that he was going to be criticized; so spending those years to be sure sure sure that before polls are up again, a huge project or two would have been set up in a part of the country that has been kept at the back burner for years.

I am disappointed that he didn't play his cards well. pretty much played into the hands of the opposition and they seized the opportunity. Maybe my governor could have introduced him to POD 101 - political Opposition Dissolvement... he gathered everyone that mattered or that counted as politicians in the state under one umbrella, thereby, not only isolating OUK but ensuring that he was returned for a second term due to lack of a strong opposing candidate.

If my middle-eastern taxi-driver the other day was making a passionate & logical argument to me on how the hollocust never happened...(and is a fraud/propaganda)... then it shouldn't be surprising to anyone, especially Igbos, why the people that wedged an illegitimate war against them want to bend over backwards and ensure the story of that war is told by them and them alone, and needs to be seen as the truth. "Truth"... and if a Biafran tries to tell the story, should be dismissed as "fiction" and deserves rigorous questioning and re-telling once again with conjectures, denials and what hast thou.

Chinua, may your soul be blest for 'There was a country... " That the story was penned by you makes a world of difference; and a difference in the world of those Biafrans born after the war(such as yours truly(.

Mayor, my good friend! How are you, brother?! Who benefits from lack of investments? The IYC are not junior partners in the relationship between them and the rest of Nigeria... if the Nigerian government want to test their resolve, the economy should prepare for a knock.

MayorofLagos:
This reaction gives legitimacy to opposing grounds who see increasing terrorism and new threats from Lower Niger as a real risk against new investments.
